One of the most attractive charms of Apple Safari for Mac OS X 10.5 is its private browsing feature, which is expected to keep internet surfing private. According to Apple, the Private Browsing feature leaves no traces regarding the web browsing done by a particular user. Normally Safari stores all the information about websites a particular user has visited. It also keeps information that has been entered in the search bars, forms and user id, but if the Private Browsing is on (which can be found under the Edit menu) then such information is not stored and another user cannot trace the web activities of the previous users.

Apple also says that if the Private Browsing is off then the Reset Safari option can clear all the cache but this is not completely true. Clearing the cache or browsing the Web in private mode clears all the site tracks but only for a normal user who knows how to work on the Safari’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) but one can still go beyond that and recover all the site track bypassing the Private Browsing and Reset Safari functions. If you share your computer, then erasing your browsing record can be almost as important as the role the Symantec Norton Internet Security software plays on your computer. You can go to the terminal and type the following command in order to track all the web activities:

dscacheutil -cachedump -entries Host

This will list all the entries with time and access date. To completely get rid of it you have to manually enter the following command:

dscacheutil -flushcache
